G’Day, caravan enthusiasts! In this in-depth review, John Ford from Caravan World takes a close look at the Gold Class LC17C, a sophisticated 17ft Luxe class touring caravan designed for couples, weekend getaway enthusiasts, and semi-offroad travellers. Joined by James Field from Market Direct Group, we explore what sets the LC17C apart in Gold Class Caravans’ lineup and why it’s a strong contender for touring caravans under 18ft.

The LC17C belongs to Gold Class’s Luxe range, which focuses on comfort, smart layouts, and touring practicality.
